John G. Stevens, vice president of business development for Mountain West, was named the most influential mortgage expert for the state of Utah by MoneyTips.com.

Nominees were then selected based on their influence, social popularity, engagement metrics and other factors.

“I am honored to have received the Most Influential Mortgage Expert award,” Stevens said. “I could not do what I do without the support and combined efforts of all the wonderful people that I work with. They make this possible, and continue to impress with their dedication and hard work. I have been blessed to be able to work with a team that exemplifies what a mortgage professional is. I look forward to an amazing year!”

Stevens was appointed vice president of business development at Mountain West in 2015. He brought with him more than 12 years of mortgage banking experience. Prior to joining Mountain West, he served as an area manager for the Bank of England. He currently serves as the vice president of NAMB. He was also NAMB’s 2015 Mortgage Professional of the Year.

Stevens has also been named one of the top mortgage professionals under 40, and has been recognized as one of the 25 most connected mortgage professionals for the past six years.
